It’s been a rough month for octogenarians refusing to leave the stage in the U.S.
So let’s be grateful that the Rolling Stones still light up stadiums as ferociously as ever. On Wednesday at SoFi Stadium, the Stones did just what they’ve done for decades: They hit the circuit in support of a new rock and ’n’ roll album, last year’s fresh and riffy “Hackney Diamonds.” They’d have had every right to make this round of shows an affirming nostalgia trip for fans, particularly in the wake of losing beloved drummer Charlie Watts in 2021.
The most legendarily un-killable Stone was in fine form Wednesday night, using the limits of age to his advantage. SoFi Stadium has become the set piece for every big pop spectacle of our time, a place where backing tracks are a prerequisite for the razzle-dazzle required. But we maintain that nothing sounds better in that venue than a gained-up, frighteningly loud, teeth-gnashing riff from Richards.
